The land of Guanzhong gave birth to the three great dynasties of Qin, Han and Tang, and during this period, because of indiscriminate deforestation and reclamation, it also caused deep damage to the land of Guanzhong, which caused damage to the land of Guanzhong, especially the plateau of Longdong and northern Shaanxi, the land was desertified and soil erosion, forming a unique terrain of thousands of ravines.

The land here has been strongly eroded, and except for a few remnants of loess plateaus, most of the area has become a broken ridge with deep ditches crisscrossing the terrain.

On the loess plateau, the two stood on the two plateaus and looked at each other, seeing each other, but if they wanted to come together, it might take more than half a day.

With such a complex terrain, it is very easy to hide troops and get lost in the plateau.

The Qing army did not know much about the terrain on the plateau, and the march must find a reference, otherwise it would be easy to turn out, and on the plateau with thousands of ravines, the best reference is the river.

As long as the Qing army knows the direction of the river and chooses the right river, it will be able to follow the river and reach its destination.

Beiluoshui is a tributary of the Wei River, originating from the Loess Plateau, is an important tributary of the right bank of the Yellow River, in order to distinguish it from the Luohe River in Henan, it is also called the Beiluo River.

In June, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sky was white, and the Qing troops outside the pass and from the grassland were accustomed to the severe cold inside the pass, but it was difficult to endure the scorching heat inside the pass.

At this time, in the Luoshui Valley, a Qing army of more than 3,000 people was marching slowly along the river valley, and the team stretched for two or three miles.

The Tartar cavalry mostly opened their armor, bowed their heads, flowed with Han water, and marched forward against the scorching sun.

"It's so hot!" A Han Jun Qian said suddenly.

"What is this? Wait until July is hotter, you haven't been to the south, it's so hot that you can peel off your skin. The officer who was traveling with him untied the kettle, handed it to Mr. Qian next to him, and said casually.

Mr. Qian took the kettle and took a sip of it, and returned it to the other party, "Straight lady thief, the water is hot, and the more you drink, the hotter it gets." ”

After that, he turned his head to look at the Eight Banners soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but say: "Oh, if you want to say that the Eight Banners should be more afraid of heat than us, you see that they are wearing armor, but they are more energetic than us." ”

"Where can we compare with the Eight Banners, they are the elite of the Qing Dynasty, we are just miscellaneous people, the treatment is different, what spirit can we have."

"Yes!" Mr. Qian nodded and looked at the winding river valley, it had been a day since they entered the valley, but the scenery on both sides remained unchanged, that is, the loess slopes and a small number of terraced fields, making people not know when they would be able to go out.

Mr. Qian licked his lips and asked, "How long is this river valley, and how long do we have to walk?" ”

"It's still early, it's just starting now, it should be almost to Wuqi! Take your time! ”

While the two were talking, a group of yellow-armored Tartar cavalry rushed forward at an accelerated speed.

It turned out that there was a mound in the middle of the river valley in front of it, which was like a small island in the river, and the water flowed into Luoshui, turning the wide river valley into two relatively narrow river valleys, and the terrain became dangerous.

The mound is a steep, flat plateau that is as high as the surrounding ground, but like a hill relative to the erosion of the river valley.

The yellow-armored cavalry galloped under the mound, reined in the reins of the horse, and carefully looked at the terrain, which was bare loess steep slopes on both sides.

At this time, I saw the Tartar cavalry rushing to the two plateaus of the river valley, but a figure retracted his head.

The topography of the mound is steep on all sides, but the top is a flat plateau, and the large mound has a radius of dozens of miles, and there are villages and cities on it.

At this time, looking down from the sky, the mounds on both sides of the river valley were full of Wei soldiers wearing black armor, but because the top of the mounds was flat, the Qing troops under the valley could not see the scene on the hill.

At this time, the Tartar cavalry looked around for a while, and the Tartar led by him said a few words of Manchu, then pulled the reins of his horse and led the cavalry into the valley that had been divided.

The cavalry entered the valley between the two plateaus and found that the valley was very long, but everything around it was normal, and it was the same as the road of dozens of miles before, and no abnormalities were found.

At this time, the Qing army behind saw that the cavalry in front did not warn, and had entered the valley that was divided into two.

Because Luoshui was divided into two streams, they walked into the valley on the left, and the soldiers continued to gallop unhurriedly with their heads against their heads and weapons.

On the two plateaus, Liu Tichun observed that the Tartar had entered the ambush area, so he squatted on his stomach and raised his right hand.

Behind him, the black-armored soldiers lying on their stomachs got up lightly, clenched their weapons, and squatted on the edge of the two hills.

Because the valley became narrow, the sunlight was blocked by the two hills, and the Qing army went into the shadows.

Mr. Qian, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but look up at the two hills, "This place is comfortable, but it's a little evil." ”

Suddenly, a sharp and loud horn sounded suddenly.

On the high earth plateau, Liu Tichun suddenly waved his hand, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out and let out an angry roar: "Kill the Tartar!" ”

The Qing army, which was rushing forward with the clattering hooves of the horses, suddenly grabbed the reins of their horses one after another, and the war horses neighed in the valley.

The cavalry of the Qing army looked around, looked at the two plateaus alertly, but was horrified to find that the Wei army in black armor was standing on it, with firearms and bows and arrows aimed at them, and there were black objects flashing with sparks in the sky, falling quickly.

"Not good! Hurry back! Mr. Qian reacted instantly, his face was full of horror, and he immediately shouted.

However, it was too late, and the explosion of "boom, boom" instantly sounded in the valley, and the air wave swept the cavalry away, and the valley was suddenly filled with dust, gunsmoke, and people howled and neighed.

A ribbon of smoke rose from the "bang, bang, bang" earthen plateau, and the whistling sound of projectiles and arrows sounded above the heads of the Qing army, and the rain of bullets from the platoon fell like a heavy rain.

The frightened Qing army was hit by a projectile that cut their heads and covered their faces, and the Qing army, who were riding on war horses and trying to control their horses, fell from their horses one after another.

The projectiles tore through their armor and splashed up a mist of blood, and the frantic horses threw off the wounded cavalry, slammed them on the ground, trampled them on the horses' hooves, and were trampled to death in an instant.

"Quick! The back team becomes the front team, quit!" The general of the Qing army on horseback grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, controlled the war horse with the front hooves hanging in the air, and roared with a knife in the other, "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

There was chaos in the valley, and the sound of explosions and howls silenced the voices of the Qing generals, and many cavalry were crowded together and beaten into a sieve by the Wei army's firearms.

"Kill!" The Wei soldiers on the hill roared angrily, and saw yellow dust rising from the steep slope, and the Wei soldiers holding swords and spears rushed down the hill like a fierce tiger to cut off the two ends of the valley.

The cavalry of the Qing army did not have an advantage here, and the Wei army, which rushed down, entered the river valley with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles, stabbed the cavalry that lost its speed to death, and the Wei army blocked both ends and harvested the heads of the Qing army.

······

Thirty miles away, Ao Bai rode slowly in front of the army, behind him was the banner, and there were Qing cavalry that stretched for more than ten miles.

Tens of thousands of Qing army and horse troops are all over the river valley, and the further back, the denser they become, just like Luoshui sending a flood peak.

At this time, Ao Bai rode forward on the war horse, but a yellow dust suddenly rose in front of him, and more than 100 Qing cavalry rushed back.

"Not good! Something is wrong with the striker! The sharp-eyed Qing general couldn't help but exclaim.

Ao Bai frowned slightly, reined in his horse, and the cavalry behind him immediately stopped slowly.

At this time, more than 100 cavalrymen galloped in front of him in embarrassment, led by a cavalryman, who flew off his horse without stopping and knelt on one knee: "General, the forward was ambushed by the barbarians and suffered heavy losses. ”

Ao Bai was immediately furious, "The distance between the striker and the general is only thirty miles, and the barbarians dare to ambush, do you take the general in your eyes?" ”
